How to Use These Prompts for Maximum Reach
A few quick tips to make these actually go viral, not just look nice:
- Keep clips 5–10 seconds and stack 2–4 of them for Shorts/Reels.
- Add strong hook text in the first 1–2 seconds (“POV: You’re the office plant”, “This is your brain on slow Wi-Fi”).
- Pair with trending sounds or your own punchy VO.
- Remix successful prompts: keep the structure but swap setting/character (e.g., “printer union” → “dishwasher union,” “office cat” → “office lizard”).
